Public Intellectuals in the Time of the Covid Crisis (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Robert Samuel Hughes Rapoport
Termin:
14-täglich | Dienstag | 14:00 - 17:30 | 13.10.2020 - 29.01.2021 | Online-Veranstaltung
Inhalt: The pandemic exceeds the scope of a single seminar. The question becomes what role can a critical thinker play in understanding this meta-phenomenon. What opportunities are there in this moment to theorize on the societal and international scale and, hopefully, contribute to positive change? Building on last semester's seminar, we will continue looking at a combination of relevant pre-COVID texts and current ones. The syllabus will evolve in dialogue with the class's interests and current events. The focus of this course will be on thinking critically amid competing claims about the future. We will look at the different narratives that societies form in response to complexity both today and in the past. Drawing on thought from both inside and outside the university, we will read texts reflexively ( i.e., what is assumed/ left unsaid? )—the aim being to develop an expanded conceptual toolkit for talking about the pandemic; What possibilities are there for a shared sense of reality in the current moment?
Studying Digital Media through Digital Media: Media Studies and »Digital Humanities« (Seminar)
Dozent/in: Jan Müggenburg
Termin:
14-täglich | Donnerstag | 09:45 - 13:15 | 13.10.2020 - 29.01.2021 | HMS 139
Inhalt: ›Media studies‹ is a cultural studies discipline that investigates a wide range of (digital) media using a variety of methods. ›Digital Humanities‹ is a field of study, research, teaching, and invention concerned with the intersection of computing and the disciplines of the humanities. What happens when you combine these two approaches? When we study digital media, we usually do so by using other digital media. We research the history of the Internet using the World Wide Web, we investigate Twitter bubbles by using our own Twitter account, we program in Python to better understand the power of programming languages, we play computer games to analyze computer game cultures and so on. Is media studies thus always and necessarily a digital humanities discipline? Can reflection on our digital methods help us to better understand our own engagement with our research subjects? In this seminar we will encounter different takes on the relationship of Media Studies and Digital Humanities from contemporary media studies scholars. Together we will look at and experience ourselves a variety of digital media that are used to study digital media: from Game Studies to Software Studies and Sound Studies we will also deal with a variety of media studies subdiscplines. The seminar texts we are going to read in the seminar are selected from the Anthology „The Routledge Companion to Media Studies and Digital Humanities“, edited by Jentery Sayers (Routledge 2018). Buying the book or Ebook is recommended but not necessary to participate in the course.
